“As we adapt to new ways of working in a digital hospital, we will then start to see the significant benefits which the digital hospital will bring to our patients, our hospital and our community,” Dr Powell said.

“We are confident that staff in both hospitals will recognize the benefits of becoming a digital hospital, and thus take on this challenge withcommitment and enthusiasm.
